J.J. Abrams Gushes About Brad Bird’s Work On ‘Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol’ By Germain Lussier/May 5, 2011 5:00 pm EST Odds are that around the time J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 hits theaters, we’ll probably get our first glimpse of the live action work of director Brad Bird. Bird, who has won Oscars for his two Pixar features, Ratatouille and The Incredibles, is currently in post-production on his live action directorial debut and he didn’t go small....

Len Wiseman Will Be Remaking ‘The Mummy’ For Summer 2014 By Germain Lussier/Sept. 24, 2012 2:58 pm EST When Universal first remade The Mummy with Brendan Fraser in the late ’90s, the franchise retained the period setting of the original film. That ended up being the right decision as the remade Mummy franchise spawned multiple sequels, spin-offs and was a runaway hit at almost every turn. It has since gone cold, however, and with the help of producers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Prometheus co-writer Jon Spaihts, Universal hope to breathe life into the walking dead one more time....

Movie Posters: Iron Man 2, Cyrus, The Experiment By Peter Sciretta/April 14, 2010 10:36 am EST One of my favorite things about going to the movies as a kid, besides the movies themselves and the trailers, was walking through the lobby of my local multiplex and checking out all the posters, banners and standees for the upcoming films. The art of poster design has gone to hell, I’ve grown up and become cynical, but I still love looking at theatrical one-sheets....

New Poster: Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch By Peter Sciretta/July 26, 2010 10:00 am EST A couple weeks back we posted the first photo from Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. Last week, I posted some props and maquettes (giving us a better look at our group of girl heros, a World War I masked zombie solider, and a mech suit featuring a pink bunny) and the first set of character banners. On Sunday, I spotted a new poster for the film on the Comic-Con show floor....

Piranha 3D Teaser Trailer By Peter Sciretta/April 26, 2010 10:00 am EST The teaser trailer for Piranha 3D was attached to Daybreakers in January, but never got an official online release. You may have seen it in the theater, or have watched one of the many bootlegged copies online, but there has never been an official crisp and clear digital copy online… until now. You can now watch the teaser trailer after the jump thanks to trailer addict....

Sam Raimi Not Fully Committed To Direct Oz, Still Excited About Making World Of Warcraft By Russ Fischer/June 25, 2010 9:40 am EST Couple weeks ago, the big news was that Sam Raimi had not only been offered the director’s chair on Disney’s Wizard of Oz prequel Oz, the Great and Powerful, but that he’d taken the job. And while the idea of Raimi directing a big-budget 3D Oz film for Disney doesn’t seem like the greatest move he could make from a creative standpoint, the pairing does make a certain sense....

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - What Did You Think? By David Chen/Aug. 13, 2010 7:50 pm EST But what did you guys think? Does Michael Cera transcend his awkward-young-adult schtick? Does Mary Elizabeth Winstead steal your heart, as she does Pilgrim’s? Did the fight scenes blow you away or make you yawn? Did the humor send you away in peals of laughter, or grate on your nerves? As always, assume the comments contain SPOILERS....

Meanwhile, what is The Interventionalist, which Deadline offhandedly mentions that Gilio has scripted for Alexander Payne? This is the first that I’ve heard of that script, and consequently of Payne’s involvement. …opens with real-life magician Charles Carter executing a particularly grisly trick, using President Warren G....

Summit Says No ‘Twilight’ Reboot Is Happening, At Least Right Now By Russ Fischer/June 18, 2012 7:00 am EST From the moment that Lionsgate bought Summit, talk of more Twilight has floated around. Lionsgate clearly wanted Summit’s chief cinematic asset when it made the purchase of the smaller studio, and even with Lionsgate launching its own tremendously successful teen series this year with The Hunger Games, two massively successful franchises is always better than one....

UK Grown Ups Trailer By David Chen/April 27, 2010 7:29 am EST The new UK Trailer for Grown Ups has hit the web, and it promises to feature more of the generic, mind-numbing humor that have become the hallmark of the careers of the featured comedians. Seriously though, this one features more jokes relating to the kids. Other than that, you can see most of the scintillating scenes on display in the earlier trailer of the film....

VOTD: ‘Existentialist Star Wars’ By Angie Han/April 28, 2011 5:00 am EST Looking at Star Wars from a philosophical standpoint is nothing new — there are plenty of essays and books that do just that — but this funny existentialist version of Episode IV: A New Hope takes it to a whole new level by putting the words of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre right into the characters’ mouths. Well, kind of. The video features Star Wars scenes dubbed in French, with French subtitles, but French speakers will notice (and probably be irritated) that the dubbing doesn’t actually match the subtitles....

Hit the jump and watch the whole thing now embedded after the jump....

Zachary Levi To Play Fandral In ‘Thor 2’ By Germain Lussier/June 8, 2012 9:21 pm EST Zachary Levi is going from the Buy More to Asgard. The star of the cult TV show Chuck is in negotiations to join the cast of Alan Taylor’s Thor 2 as Fandral, one of the Warriors Three. But wait, you say. Wasn’t that part was played by Josh Dallas in the first film? Correct. However, Dallas now stars on ABC’s hit show Once Upon a Time and had to bow out of the Marvel sequel for that, leaving the door open for Levi....
